Williams e Desplat vincono il Grammy Award 2015
Si è svolta ieri, Domenica 8 Febbraio, la cerimonia di premiazione della 57a Edizione dei Grammy Awards, il prestigioso premio assegnato dalla Recording Academy, associazione dell'industria discografica americana.
Il compositore francese Alexandre Desplat ha vinto nella categoria Best Score Soundtrack Album for Visual Media per l'album della colonna sonora del film di Wes Anderson The Grand Budapest Hotel. Si tratta del primo Grammy Award per il sempre più lodato Desplat (precedentemente fu candidato per la colonna sonora de Il curioso caso di Benjamin Button).
Nella categoria Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for Visual Media trionfa invece la colonna sonora di Frozen, il celebrato e popolare cartoon tridimensionale prodotto da Walt Disney, che vince anche nella categoria Best Song Written for Visual Media per la canzone "Let It Go", interpretata da Idina Menzel e scritta da Kristin Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez.
